CASE Study #196 - Happy Birthday Butterflies

Is your summer off to a good start?   It's hot and humid here in the Chicago area.  Sounds like summer right?  Our parish is having it's "Fun Day's" Festival starting today.  It's your typical Midwest church carnival.  They clear out the parking lot and bring in lots of rides and food vendors.  The Knights of Columbus will be having a corn roast, a different band will be playing every night, and can't forget the beer garden!  My family always steps in to lend a hand.  It's nice to see old friends that my kids went to grade school, although some are a little harder to recognize now.   LOL!

A new challenge begins today at CASE Study and I think you're going to like this one.  Our muse this month is Pamela Ho from MIAO - A Design Blog.   Look at the card we have by her this week!  You know the drill, study the card and copy the parts you love.  I turned this one on it's side - making the dark skyline a layer of die cut branches.  If you look close you will see I double cut them - once in vellum, to mimic the shadow of the skyline on the original card.  Instead of a dog being lifted by green and yellow balloons, I have something else that flies... yellow butterflies. 

Here's the finished card...

Now it's your turn!  Need a little more inspiration?  Check out designs from the rest of the team by clicking on their names below.
